Seeing that 2021 is about to pass, the "Bird Poetry poems" published by "Famous Poet" Zikong in the 6th issue of Tibetan Literature in 2021 are surprising. Zikong, the founder of "China's first bird poetry", really wrote "bird language" vividly. Our poetry has another genre – the bird language genre.
If you can read this poem, it shows that you are very patient. This constant repetition, mimicking the sound of birds, can only say that the name of the poem is written very appropriately. As a literary journal, Tibetan Literature published the poem, and it seems that they thought the poem was really good.
If Tibetan Literature is still only a local literary journal, then Poetry Journal is "the only central poetry journal." In the first half of October 2021, the Poetry Journal published Houma's "Hun Chicken Worship year". In this poem, there is no imitation of a chicken calling, but it is similar to a chicken calling.
Why do today's poets always like to live with animals? It may be that people can no longer write. At the beginning of the year, Jia Qianqian, because of the and urine body and exploded on the Internet. Our modern poetry has reached the point where we don't know how to write it, what to write. Since you can't write human words, write bird language, or other animals, such as Hungarian chickens.

For the phenomenon of modern poetry like bird language, the famous poet Ouyang Jianghe has long had a discussion. In his interview response to the article "Ouyang Jianghe: Modern Poetry is a Challenge to Readability, There Is No Boundary Between Understanding and Not Understanding", Ouyang Jianghe explained the relationship between modern poetry and bird language in "in-depth and meticulous" way.
"Bird Whispering you won't understand what it means, but you can immerse yourself in this beautiful and inexplicable touch. The most beautiful, the most mysterious thing is its occurrence, why should we be so demanding of poetry instead of demanding birds? In Ouyang Jianghe's view, modern poetry is incomprehensible, and that is a matter of course.

Zikong obviously put this discussion of Ouyang Jianghe into concrete practice and directly wrote a "Bird Poetry". We really can't be harsh on birds, after all, we are not of the same kind. But can't we be harsh on poets? Poets write poems not for birds to see, nor to read to birds, but to show to people.
Moreover, whether it is "Bird Poetry" or "Hun Chicken Worship", there is no "beautiful and inexplicable touch" in it? However, such a poem, the editors of the journal should understand, otherwise, how can they let such a poem be published in the journal? Do these editors know bird language?

When Jia Qianqian was being ridiculed, Ouyang Jianghe understood Jia Qianqian. Jia Qianqian" Can be seen in "My Mother", her poetry is full of spirituality, and her poetry is a spiritual thing and a local thing. "Now many people always have to use a lot of energy to write things, and shallow poetry gives us a new paradigm, shallow writing poetry shallow reading, shallow, light, natural." 」
I am afraid that only Ouyang Jianghe can see the "spirituality" from "My Mother", and there may be "beautiful and inexplicable touching". I don't know whether this is the sadness of modern poetry, the sorrow of modern poets, or the sorrow of modern readers? Can't read has become a sign of modern poetry, so what else should modern poetry do?
However, because it is impossible to read, it gives people a sense of mystery. And this sense of mystery undoubtedly provides unlimited possibilities for "interpreting" such a poem. What "spirituality" oh, "Zen", "tiancheng" oh, can be used. If you really can't use these words, then simply take the "bird language" to talk about things.

The birds that are squawking in the trees are probably muttering in their hearts: What do you have to do with me when you write poems? It really shouldn't matter, but someone has to pull modern poetry to the bird. Not really, chickens, ducks. From then on, how can a poem that is not like a poem be called a poem, and anything even less like a poem than a bird?
The poetry of 2021 can be described as "a place of chicken feathers". Some people may not believe that the poetry world is not prosperous now? So many famous poets, so many publications, so many awards? However, if you look at the position of poets in the Writers Association after the Tenth Congress of the Chinese Writers Association, you will understand that the poetry world is indeed "a chicken feather in one place".
